By: Bob | October 2nd, 2007
If you were fortunate enough to watch Tottenham’s thrilling comeback against Aston Villa on Monday you know firsthand how stressful a soccer game can be. Stress is par for the course for Spurs supporters, at least if you are to believe a recent analysis of the most stressful teams in the English Premier League to watch.
The study, performed by Lloydspharmacy, takes into account the league results, league positions and margins of victory and defeat in order to calculate the amount of stress teams inflicted on their fans last season. Tottenham edged out West Ham at the top of the stress table. Unsurprisingly, the teams that finished lowest in the table seemed to cause their fans the most stress. The most stress-free fans are those who support the mid-table teams.
